janapa = king

mechchidare = if he is happy (that he has been served well)

Iva = he (the king) would give

dhana = money

vAhana = transport facility (elephant / horse / chariot in those days)

vibhUShaNa = ornaments / jewelry

AdariparuMTEnO = is there anyone else in this world who can give us these with regard / esteem

anavarata = always

nenevara = contemplating about Him

anaMtAsanave modalAda = anaMtasana, shwEta dwIpa, VaikuMTha

Alayadali = at these places of mukti

iTTu = keeping them there

aNuganaMdadali = like a small child

mahAmahima = Supreme Lord - ParamAtma

avara = true devotees

vashanAguvanu =  He becomes their obedient subject

 

If the king of a country (or the boss at our place of work) is happy

then he would provide money, transport, ornaments, good attire and

residence to his servants (or employees) but he will not give them his

own house or things to them.

 

The kind hearted Lord is completely different. ParamAtma is the King of

fourteen lOka-s. He is pleased by those devotees who praise His

qualities without expecting any results and He gets fettered by their

devotion. With His magnanimous heart, He would provide them His abodes

like anaMtasana, shwEta dwIpa, VaikuMTha and gets bound by their

devotion although He is Supreme, just as a small child fetters himself

to his parents.

 

During ‘sthiti’, He provides them a body, iMdriya-s as the tools for

doing sAdhana and a manas (mind) to inspire the thoughts and buddhi

(brain / intelligence) and He does (as aMtaRyAmi rUpa) and makes them do

their sAdhana and then give them mOxa and makes them happy.

 

“Is there any other person as kind as this Lord?” asks JagannAtha dAsa

in this stanza.
